Gorm says: "A beloved child has many names." The problem with modern names, though, is that, no matter how many you have, they don't tell people enough about you. Back in the days of Gorm's great-great Grandfather, Gorm the Old, a person's name actually described the person. For example, Old Gorm's son, who never flossed, was named Harald Bluetooth. Gorm believes you should be able to benefit from an equally descriptive moniker. Ready to learn your Viking name? Click here. ©1996-2006 Gorm. U.S. Patent No. 6,507,811. Meet Gorm

Not that it was how the Vikings regarded themselves if you ever had the gall to ask. From the Norse, the term was used in the form of 'to go a-viking', making it sound ...

Furthermore, they were considered skilled ...
